This research proposes the use of neural networks for providing task support in a proactive but relatively unobtrusive manner. The user interface features separate and persistent advice windows, where procedural advice and relevant domain knowledge are displayed continuously, side by side to the task window. The display is updated in short intervals. As the central component of the back end, a ...

In transport triggered architectures (TTAs) the programming and operational model is mirrored when compared with regular RISC and VLIW architectures; instead of programming operations which cause data transports as side eeects, in TTAs the transports are programmed, where a transport may trigger an operation if necessary. Transports are therefore visible at the architecture level, and are compl...

Background. The notion ‘basic color term’ (BCT) was first defined by Berlin & Kay (1969, B&K). Based on a sample of 98 spoken languages, B&K argued that languages show considerable variation in their BCT systems, but that the attested variation is constrained by a hierarchy according to which BCTs appear in a language in a predictable order. B&K identify seven stages of complexity in this hiera...

In this paper the implementation of the test strategy in a so-called Very Long Instruction Word Transport Triggered Architecture (VLIW-TTA) is discussed. The complete test strategy is derived referring to the results of test synthesis, carried out in the early phase of the design. It takes the area/throughput parameters into account. The test strategy, exploiting the regularity and modularity o...

Transport Triggered Architecture (TTA) offers a cost-effective tradeoff between the size and performance of ASICs and the programmability of general-purpose processors. This paper presents a study where a high performance, low power TTA processor was customized for a 1024-point complexvalued fast Fourier transform (FFT). The proposed processor consumes only 1.55 μJ of energy for a 1024-point FF...

The possibility to conduct complete cell assays under a precisely controlled environment while consuming minor amounts of chemicals and precious drugs have made microfluidics an interesting candidate for quantitative single-cell studies. Here, we present an application-specific microfluidic device, cellcomb, capable of conducting high-throughput single-cell experiments. The system employs pure ...

Recent research in real-time scheduling for mixed criticality systems has centered on an event-triggered/prioritydriven approach to scheduling. Current practice in many safetycritical domains, however, favors a time-triggered approach. We present here an effective and flexible approach for applying mode changes for time-triggered systems to handle mixed criticality job sets. It is based on a he...

The dynamic relationship between constitutive and ligand-triggered clathrin-mediated endocytosis is only poorly characterized, and it remains controversial whether clathrin-coated pits specialize to internalize particular receptor cargo. Here we analyzed the ligand-triggered endocytosis of the model G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) and Mu-opioid receptor (MOR) a...
